best-looking wheels for Tornado red mk5 gti 5d? 18 or 19"??

BBS CO's on my Golf. Though I'm having second thoughts on the Dark Gunmetal colour and may revert back to Silver.

The colour itself is nice but IMO would be much better suited to a lighter colour car.

Looks awesome matey

You could do with some tinted headlights though and maybe taillights. It will tie into the stealth look wheels

My OEM current wheels: Speedline Omanyt 7,5''x17'' 5x112 ET52 12 Kg/each. Never seen another 17'' set, just the more common R32's 18''.

Both previous pics have brake dust.

This one is cleaner and was taken before the Eibach Pro-Kit and Koni FSD were fitted:

Planning on getting a set of OZ Ultraleggera 8Jx18'' 5x112 ET45 Graphite Matte 8,2 Kg/each in the next year after wearing the tyres.

Spotted a really similar car to this on my way to work tonight and immediately thought of this pic.

You're right. That's the official information that I only found out later.

When I posted that it was the weight I thought it was from what I searched online. One topic had a picture of one wheel on a scale with that weight but I can't find it anymore.

Here are more links with the 8,2 kg stated as well:

Thx for the links, i notice that they allow for 5% difference in weight which is 420g, so both weights are possile.

does that single exit rear valance allow fitment of the standard exit exhaust position? or is it still positioned differently with the r32 rear

Thanks
